Dealership "Necessary" For New Timing Belt ?

May 28, 2011 6 Replies

Hello,



Have a V6 2005 Accord with 110K on it.



So, I guess will need a new Timing Belt and Plugs.



Is this something that should really be done at a Dealership, or can most any "competent" garage handle it ?



Must the Plugs be those Pt tipped very expensive ones ?



Thanks, B.


What plugs are called for in the owner's/service manual?

Plugs are usually easy! Get a proper plug socket, and have at in the back yard.

Hondas are prolific, and there are a lot of places that specialize in Hondas for less money than the dealer.

One really GOOD thing about having the dealer do it: Honda has been keeping computerized records for decades. You can take a Honda into any dealer, and they can see what was done to it by dealers since the day it was sold.

Got this one right Jim. I hope Bob is not a surgeon or runs a nuclear power plant, his indecisiveness would be fatal.

If this is accurate, is the printout available to a customer upon request. Possibly for a small fee?
